About us

Making driving services simple, safe and global.

Drivelihood is a worldwide marketplace for everything around driving and the people who make it work. Drivers, rides, schools, instructors, advanced training, heavy machinery certification, security escorts, companions, handymen and driver mates. Twelve services, one platform, verified providers, and a booking flow that is honest about what it costs.

Why we built it

Finding help should not be a gamble

Hiring a driver, finding a school that will teach you on a truck, or getting guards for a convoy has always run on word of mouth. You ask around. Someone knows someone. You have no way to check whether that person is who they say they are, no record of the arrangement, and no recourse when it goes wrong.

Providers have the mirror problem. Post a phone number publicly and you get buried in calls from people who were never going to book. Serious customers and time wasters look identical until you have already spent the afternoon on them.

Drivelihood fixes both ends. Every provider is identity verified. Every provider stays behind a public handle until a customer commits. Every booking is recorded, mapped and traceable.

What makes it different

Nobody is exposed by default

Providers appear under a handle. Real names and contact details unlock only when a customer chooses to spend on it.

Verification is not optional

Government ID checks run through Didit before anyone can take a booking or a payout.

You can just say what you need

Drivelihood AI reads plain English, works out which service you mean, and sets the booking up for you.

Real maps, real routes

Live route, real distance, real time, turn by turn navigation. Not a guess.

The parts that make it work

Drivelihood AI

The assistant that sits over the whole platform. Tell it "I need a forklift training" or "take me to the airport" or "hire a full time driver for my company" and it works out which of the twelve services you mean, pulls out the details you already gave it, and asks only for what is still missing.

For a ride it sets your pickup from your live location, quotes the real distance and time, then ranks the verified providers nearest to you. It plans the booking. You approve it.

Maps and navigation

Every trip runs on real mapping. Address autocomplete as you type, draggable pins, the route drawn on a live map, and a real distance and arrival time from the road network rather than a straight line.

Once a ride is booked, both sides see the same map, and the driver gets turn by turn navigation to the pickup and on to the destination in one tap.

Handles and unlocking

Browse the marketplace and you see verified providers, their services, their ratings and their distance from you, but not their names. Each one carries a handle instead.

When you decide someone is right, you unlock them. Their real name and contact details appear, and you can book. Providers are never cold called, and customers never pay to look, only to connect.

Milestone

The platform currency. You fund your wallet, and Milestone covers unlocking providers and the platform side of a booking. It keeps pricing consistent everywhere in the world rather than shifting with the local currency of whoever you happen to be talking to.

Top up through Flutterwave, Paystack or Korapay. Providers withdraw their earnings the same way.

Verification

Identity checks run through Didit. Government ID, liveness, the full check. Nobody takes a booking, receives a payout or appears as verified in the marketplace without passing it.

It is the reason the handle system works. Hiding a name is only safe when the platform already knows exactly who is behind it.

Safety and incidents

Every user has an SOS button. Press it and your live GPS goes straight to your company admins. Routes are logged while a job is running, so there is always a record of where a vehicle actually went.

Incidents can be reported, updated with follow up detail as things develop, and exported as a PDF report.

Who it is for

Three kinds of account

Individual

You need something. A ride, a driver, lessons, a guard, a hand moving furniture. You browse, unlock the provider you want, and book. That is the whole job.

Super agent

You are the service. An individual professional who drives, guards, instructs or assists. You tick which of the twelve you render, you appear in the marketplace for exactly those, and customers come to you.

Organization

You run a company. A school, a fleet, a security firm, a haulage business. You get everything a super agent gets, plus a full staff system underneath it.

What organizations get on top

Staff accounts with custom roles and permissions
A company code that lets staff join themselves
Branches, for companies operating in several places
On duty and off duty tracking for every driver
Route logs, so you know where the fleet actually went
Company ID cards for staff
A notice board that reaches everyone at once
Incident reports across the whole organization
Driver mates, available to trucking and haulage only

Built for anywhere

Full country coverage, worldwide. The platform was designed international from the first line, not localised into it afterwards.

Web and mobile

Everything works on both. The same twelve services, the same AI, the same maps, the same bookings, on the site and in the app on Android and iOS.

Affiliate programme

Everyone gets a referral link that earns Milestone when the people they bring in fund their wallets. Early referrals earn at a higher rate.

Individual, super agent or organization. There is a place for you.
